August 2021 Haul

[Dave in KY]

So Jeff got in touch and told me about a razor that the person would not ship the razor they had for sale (Now I know another place he hunts his goodies ) It happens to be within 2 hours of me and I'm supposed to go get it this morning. Excited about this score Star razor in a The Gem case. Hoping it doesn't fall thru........Dated 1898 or 1899. Thanks for the info and heads up on it Jeff jmudrick

Nice catch. I may be just a little bit jealous.

Thanks ! There was some confusion about "The Gem" on the case. It is a match set and Star used different cases with some different names "The Gem was just one of them and it actually dates earlier than we first thought. Here's an ad from 1887 for The Gem putting this from 1887 to 1899.
